DECEMBER 10TH – ALL CHURCH PAGEANT-ADVENT WEEK 3
“Being Present with Joy” / Isaiah 61: 1-4; 10, Psalm 126: 1-3, Luke 1: 41-55
We are called to claim the gift of being fully present with all people- those who mourn, those who grieve, those who have suffered indignity and oppression. Mary’s Magnificat is prophetic as well. She claims the overturning of injustice even before it has come to pass. Joy is not the equivalent of happiness, but rather the deep conviction that we are called to be present in the work of bringing about “great things”-a better world for those who need it most.
There will be a special presentation of the meaning of JOY by kids!

(SUNDAY MORNING 9:00am – We offer both In-Person Worship AND Online Streaming on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Hope-United-Methodist-Church-116517175038771)
